Avocado and Smoked Salmon Salad

Russian contemporary kitchen is known for its complex layered salads that combine lots of pre-cooked ingredients. This salad is a refined version of a typical layered salad with ingredients that are not traditional for the Russian kitchen.

I used canned sprat (шпроты), a Baltic type of herring, that have a distinct smoked flavour. It works amazingly well in this recipe.

Servings: 4Time: 45 minutes

1 cubed avocado

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 potatoes, boiled and cubed

200 grams, smoked salmon, thinly sliced

5 tablespoons sour cream

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 shallot, chopped

2 tablespoons dill, chopped

Mix cubed avocado with the lemon juice.

In a flat serving dish spread 2 layers of plastic wrap in a criss-cross pattern leaving enough wrap on the sides to cover the dish at the end.

Start putting the ingredients one by one, by layer in the following pattern:-avocado, mixed with lemon juice
-sour cream
-dill
-salmon
-shallots
-potatoes

Wrap the sides plastic wrap on top of the dish. Press gently. Put in a fridge for 15-20min.

Unwrap the top part of the plastic, put a flat plate over the dish. Gently but quickly turn the dish upside down, remove the wrap.
